Reviewed in Australia on 28 February 2018

It doesn't matter if a story came from a series of comic books - any movie can become art. No movies show that as perfectly as Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy" -- three movies that explore the formative years of the legendary superhero Batman, from the beginning of his crusade for justice to the explosive climax. Even people who aren't into capes and tights can appreciate this story.

"Batman Begins": After his parents' murderer is paroled, young bazillionaire Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) vanishes on an aimless journey across the world. He's taken under the wing of the mysterious Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), who offers to train him to be a member of the League of Shadows. But then Bruce learns that the League plans to annihilate Gotham, his home city.

Gotham has become rotten to the core with mobs, crooked cops and a fear-inducing shrink. Using the company's discarded prototypes, Bruce fashions an armored bodysuit and tanklike vehicle, and uses them to fight crime wherever he finds it. But the League still has plans to destroy Gotham, and the only one who can stop them is Batman.

"The Dark Knight" is feeling pretty good about his battle against crime, especially since the new DA Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is a morally-upright good-guy. But Batman isn't prepared for the Joker (Heath Ledger) a mad clownish psychopath who has hired himself out to the mob to destroy their worst enemy, the Dark Knight. Even worse, he has the ultimate way of blackmailing Batman into doing what he wants: holding all of Gotham hostage.

"The Dark Knight rises picks up eight years later -- crime is almost gone, Batman has vanished, and Bruce Wayne is a recluse. But then a terrifying masked man named Bane arrives in Gotham, attacking Batman as revenge for the League's destruction. He will turn Gotham into a living nightmare, unless the Dark Knight can rise again...

Most directors would have given these movie a distinctly comic-book, slick pop-culture feel. But no matter how hard you search, there's not a single hint in "The Dark Knight Trilogy" that anything kitschy or campy came before it, or that it was originally a comic book. Instead Christopher Nolan creates a movie as dark, tightly-wound and intense as Batman himself.

But since this is a comic-book movie, Nolan peppers them with kinetic action, high-speed chases and massive explosions. The dialogue is drizzled with dry humor ("That isn't exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted to inspire people"," Batman says, looking at a bunch of impersonators), mostly to temper the overhanging sense of horror and apprehension.

The most striking part of these movies is Nolan's delving into morality, and the darker side of human nature. He heaps more tragedy and trauma on Batman than just his parents' death, and delicately traces the moral boundaries -- or lack of them -- between Batman and his foes.

Christian Bale is simply brilliant as Bruce Wayne/Batman -- sure, his growly voice can get a bit silly at times, but he perfectly conveys the strength, pain and determination of a man who will sacrifice everything to save others. Michael Caine is awesome as his faithful butler/father figure, and there are solid backing performances by Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman.

And the performances of the villain actors are absolutely brilliant. Everybody knows of the late Heath Ledger's spellbindingly chilling performance as the Joker, a casually corrosive creature who believes himself to be the yin to Batman's yang. But Tom Hardy and Liam Neeson are also brilliant as cunning, clever people who are determined to destroy Gotham.

The biggest problem is that Nolan isn't very good at casting women. Maggie Gyllenhaal and the pouty Katie Holmes are both hideously miscast as the cruel, manipulative Rachel Dawes, who treats Bruce's heart like a toy. Anne Hathaway is the best of the bunch -- a pretty baffling choice as Catwoman, but she does a decent job.

"The Dark Knight Trilogy" contains some of the best superhero movies ever made -- a dark, gritty, richly-imagined tale of one man's quest against chaos and evil.

Grandiose Filme, Grandiose Box, Grandiose Qualität, Grandioser Preis

Reviewed in Germany on 3 June 2021

Vorab: Ich habe die Box damals für 60€ bekommen. Aber auch für den Standardpreis hätte ich sie genommen.

Die Filme sind ja oft genug besprochen und die Triologie als Meisterwerk klassifiziert. Kann ich auch so unterschreiben.

Speziell an den UHD-Versionen sind die inkuldierten IMAX-Sequenzen, die das ganze nochmal bedeutend aufwerten. Zumindest Teil 2 und 3, im ersten sind keine zu finden. Gerade auf einer Leinwand - oh boy. Da lohnt es sich diese Box zu kaufen, wenn man die Filme mag.

An den Nolan-Filmen mag ich ja, dass auch immer (meistens?) eine Master-HD Tonspur auf Deutsch enthalten ist. Das ist für mich der Hauptgrung Blu-Rays zu kaufen. Hier gibt es halt zusätzlich noch die IMAX Sequenzen, so, wie sie sein sollen.

Grandissima Trilogia, un pò deluso dalla spedizione Amazon..

Reviewed in Italy on 17 March 2017

Sono appassionato della "saga" di Christopher Nolan e già possedevo i DVD. Inoltre i film li conoscevo già a memoria.
Però questi sono film che VANNO visti al massimo della qualità e il Blu Ray è il supporto "naturale" per questo tipo di film.
Aggiungeteci il prezzo davvero irrisorio (€.10,99) al quale viene venduto da Amazon e questo cofanetto diventa davvero un MUST HAVE.
I blu ray sono in tutto 5:
1) Batman Begin: 1 blu ray contenente il Film più numerosi contenuti speciali in inglese sottotitolato;
2) Il Cavaliere Oscuro 2 blu ray contenenti il Film e altri innumerevoli contenuti speciali fra cui due documentari ognuno della durata di circa 45 minuti
3) Il Cavaliere Oscuro- Il Ritorno: 2 blu ray con il Film e ancora tantissimo materiale.

Devo dire che la quantità (e la qualità) dei contenuti speciali è davvero esaustiva. Personalmente li ho trovati davvero interessanti soprattutto quando gli autori spiegano la ricostruzione della città di Gotham in un enorme hangar di un aereoporto e la realizzazione delle scene più spettacolari che spesso sono riprese dal vero con modelli in scala 1:6 .
Davvero una lezione di cinema.
Sui film non scrivo nulla perchè qui si deve recensire il prodotto: scrivo solo che secondo me sono capolavori in senso assoluto (come quasi tutti i film di Nolan) e non solo come film "di genere". Distante anni luce da tutto ciò che ha preceduto.
Il box è in cartone abbastanza leggero, non aspettatevi una confezione robusta, per quello c'è la steel box ad un prezzo parecchio superiore; comunque anche questa confezione farà la sua bellissima figura nel vostro scaffale.
La qualità video è ottima, l'audio vi è un onesto Dolby Digital 5.1. Il Master HD come nella quasi totalità dei casi è riservata solo alla lingua originale.
Comunque nel mio impianto Home Theatre a volume abbastanza sostenuto l'effetto finale è quello di 2 ore e mezza di goduria assoluta.

Discos Multi-Region. Edición en Castellano Latino

Reviewed in Spain on 4 July 2021

Reseña sobre el ASIN‎ B01FJ39CHY Edicion de 6 discos.
Una edicion llena de extras. Ingles, Frances, casi Portugues y Castellano Latino.
El disco 2, la peli The Dark Knight y su disco de extras, no incluyen portugues ni siquiera en subtitulos.
Las peliculas restantes tambien. Excepto la segunda, como he dicho.
Los discos de extras, excepto el 3, tambien incluyen substitulos en Portugues.
Los discos son multi-region. No estan limitados a zonas geograficas.
Escuchar al mayordomo decir: "¿Le preparo la sena"? (en vez de cena), en España no suena bien.
